Stare at my eyes and you’ll see not one clue
of the feelings that make me a whole,
green eyes can't reveal all my secrets to you
they cannot uncover my soul.
My body is hidden behind veils of black,
my senses forever fly free,
my spirit confined as I look through this crack.
What is it that you really see?
The envy I feel that lies deep in my heart
when I capture the world in my eyes,
pools of reflection, though green from the start
mask all of the pain and the sighs.
Just wanting true love for the person within
who is screaming aloud to get out,
craving the touch of a mans warming skin,
and feeling alive with no doubt.
My lips you can’t see, my eyes give a smile,
the message I hope you can read,
a woman I am with a feminine wile
and freedom is all that I need.
